This movie has everything a person could possibly want in a fun cinematic experience! Good job, mr. Besson.

I own too many copies of this, yet won't stop buying it for every new platform.

I have no idea why this movie has 80+ rating!! Plus, the genres are all wrong, this NOT a thriller.

A true cult classic.

This movie is over the top from start to finish, and it knows it. A lot of movies that try to do this, the level to which they are over the top ebbs and flows. It jumps all over the place. This movie keeps it persistent, consistent, and that's what really keeps it flowing and makes me love it so much. Just the right amount and not too much.

The right amount of comedy to take what really is a pretty crap story, and just make it truly enjoyable to watch. They went above and beyond making all the scenes as artistic as they could. The cinematography really draws you in and can be enjoyed even if the movie isn't for you. I can watch this time and time again, and not grow bored.

Talk about love at first sight.

This is one of those movies where if you were lucky enough to see it first-run, you did not really appreciate it at the time.

It holds up very well. And gets better with subsequent viewings (As does MS. Jovovich who went on to do a string of very memorable sci fi flicks, and one drama where, believe it or not, she played an aspiring wedding singer) Massive (truly massive) talent in front of and behind the camera. Luc Besson in front (crazy as a loon but boy can he write scripts) and Willis/Oldman in front.

For the day, the special effects were top notch.

There a joyful innocence about the film which was rare at the time, and even rarer today.

See it once. See it often. It'll make you smile.

This movie will never age. I really appreciate it being remastered to newer video formats. Since its release in 1997, I have watched this movie in VHS, VCD, DVD, Blu-ray and now 4K HDR. It keeps getting visually stunning with every single technology iteration. A true cult classic.

The Fifth Element is probably one of those Sci-Fi movies that will never really leave me. No matter how long it has been since the last time I watched it…

I love this, and should really take it off the shelf more often. Maybe even upgrade my copy to 4k. The Fifth Element really is good enough to warrant that.

Thoroughly entertaining film, with a well-crafted plot and premise, that's unexpectedly funny and action-packed.

This movie is literally anime. It's incredible. I'm not an anime fan, but seriously, the few titles I saw seem to have a lot in common with this movie.

A cult classic with Bruce Willis and Chris Rock? A great movie for a a few good watching sessions.

I remember liking this more than I did on this rewatch. It's fine but we have had better scifi.

I think the only thing that didn't work for me is the relationship development of the 2 main characters. There wasn't even a chemistry. Yeah, they're both good looling, but there's nothing there.. anyway the entirety of the movie, is okay.

I just saw it at theater. Great, great movie!

You can watch this film in one of two ways. Either you are expecting a good all-around movie or you have a nice home theater and you want something filled with action and booms. As you may have guessed, the film falls short with the former but isn't bad with the latter expectation. The major surprise for me was just how good of an actress Milla Jovovich is. I had always assumed that she was just another former model. (review written when the movie came out)

This movie aged so horribly...

Now now..you boys stop having unnatural thoughts about Milla

Bruce Willis was never able to shake his square-peg-square-slot role as a cynical, anti-authoritarian action hero, despite getting cast outside the type in movies such as The Sixth Sense and, to a lesser extent, 12 Monkeys.. But perhaps that wasn't such a bad thing, as in two particular movies his basic, archetypal example of such an action hero contributed to one of the most complete action films of all time: One of those films was Die Hard, the oft-besequeled cop film which watched like a slasher with villain and hero reversed. The other was the sprawling, operatic The Fifth Element, where he mimics the effortless coolness of the Captain Kirk archetype and crosses through a gorgeous, often hilarious version of a sci-fi future.

Notably, the fact that Zorg represents Gary Oldman's *second*-most iconic villain role must be a testament to his ability with such characters.

I hope the future is like this some day, just looks so much more interesting
